PREFACE 


,TN  presenting  to  the  public  another  and  enlarged  edition  of  our  Illus- 
| trated  Catalogue,  we  can  but  refer,  with  justifiable  pride  as  we 
^ think,  not  only  to  the  remarkable  growth  in  population  and  pros- 
perity of  the  whole  Northwest,  especially  to  that  of  the  twin  cities, 
and  to  the  evidence  given  by  a few  cuts  herewith  shown  of  the  improve- 
ment in  architectural  taste  and  solidity  of  the  buildings  now  being 
erected  by  our  leading  capitalists  and  business  men,  but  also  to  the 
enlarged  facilities  by  means  of  which  we  are  better  than  ever  before 
enabled  to  aid  Capitalists,  Architects  and  Building  Contractors  in 
carrying  to  a successful  issue  their  plans  for  the  erection  of  first-class 
Private  Residences,  Business  Blocks,  Public  Buildings,  etc. 

Since  issuing  our  last  Catalogue,  the  rapid  increase  in  our  busi- 
ness has  compelled  us  to  nearly  double  the  floor  surface  occupied  by  us 
for  our  Architectural  Sheet  Metal  business,  to  fully  double  our  working 
force,  as  well  as  to  procure  special  and  greatly-improved  tools,  manu- 
factured in  some  instances  especially  for  us  and  from  our  own  designs, 
including  the  only  Corrugating  Machinery  in  the  Northwest,  and  the  only 
Steam  Power  employed  in  this  business  in  this  section  of  the  country,  to 
which,  adding  the  fact  of  our  many  years  of  practical  working  experi- 
ence in  this  line,  we  feel  assured  that  we  are  enabled  to  offer  our  old 
friends  and  'customers,  and  the  public  generally,  facilities  fully  equal, 
if  not  superior,  to  those  of  any  similar  establishment  a home  or 
abroad. 

Correspondence  solicited,  and  estimates  promptly  furnished  for 
work  to  be  done  in  any  part  of  the  Northwest,  in  accordance  with 
Architects’  Plans  and  Specifications.

PITCH  AND  GRAVEL  ROOFING. 


We  still  recommend  this  well  known  and  deservedly  popular  roofing 
of  Tarred  Pelt,  Pitch  and  Gravel,  to  those  seeking  a cheap  and  durable 
covering  for  semi-flat  surfaces,  having  a fall  of  anywhere  from  one-half 
(£)  inch  to  one  (1)  inch  to  the  foot.  These  roofs  we  are  prepared  to  place 
on  buildings  anywhere  in  the  Northwest,  and  can  refer  with  confidence 
to  hundreds  of  persons  who  have  thoroughly  tested  them  during  the 
past  sixteen  years.  These  roofs  we  warrant  five  (5)  years. 


AA rABKElN’S 

NATURAL  ASPHALT  ROOFING. 


I am  the  Sole  Agent  for  this  most  excellent  material,  and  the  only 
party  authorized  by  the  patentees  and  refiners  (The  Warren  Chemical 
and  Manufacturing  Company  of  Boston  and  New  York)  to  lay  this  roof 
in  St.  Paul.  This  roof  is  composed  of  Asphalted  Felt,  instead  of 
Tarred,  as  in  the  old  Pitch  and  Gravel  Roof,  laid  in  and  covered  with 
Asphalt  Roofing  Cement  and  good  clean  gravel.  The  Asphalt  referred 
to  is  a natural  deposit  principally  found  in  and  imported  from  Trinidad 
to  this  country,  and  should  not  be  confounded  with  what  is  known  as 
Artificial  Asphalt;  i.  e.,  Coal  Tar  Pitch.  Containing  little  or  no  volatile 
ingredients,  a non-conductor  of  heat  and  cold,  melting  only  at  200 
degrees  Fahrenheit,  retaining  always  and  under  all  circumstances  its 
plastic  qualities,  it  is  believed  to  be  the  best  and  most  durable  material 
ever  employed  for  this  purpose.  Its  cost  is  nearly  fifty  per  cent,  greater 
than  the  old  Pitch  and  Gravel  Roof,  but  as  we  warrant  it  for  ten  years 
it  is  rapidly  coming  into  favor  and  popularity  with  those  whose  build- 
ings are  of  such  permanent  character  as  to  warrant  them  in  procuring 
the  very  best  and  most  durable  roof,  even  though  at  a somewhat 
increased  cost.  The  pitch  of  this  roof  should  be  about  the  same  as  the 
Pitch  and  Gravel,  though  a considerably  steeper  surface  may  safely  be 
employed  if  for  any  reason  desirable.

DOUBLE  CAP  IRON  ROOFING. 


An  Iron  Roof  adapted  to  this  climate  should,  in  our  judgment,  have 
a pitch  of  three  to  five  inches,  certainly  not  less  than  three  inches,  to 
the  foot.  We  form  our  own  Roofing  Iron  from  the  best  Box  Annealed 
Iron,  free  of  scale,  so  that  it  takes  freely  and  retains  the  best  quality  of 
Iron  Clad  paint,  with  which  we  paint  both  sides  of  the  iron — one  coat 
before  laying;  then  put  on  a finishing  coat  of  tire  same  after  the  iron  is 
on  the  roof.  Our  form  “Double  Cap” — the  Cap  being  formed  in  and 
composing  a part  of  each  sheet,  with  the  lock  joint  at  the  ends  of  sheets, 
the  whole  being  secured  to  the  roof  hoards  by  the  use  of  cleats  (no 
nails  or  screws  directly  through  the  roofing  proper) — affords  the  most 
thorough  scope  for  expansion  and  contraction  of  any  metal  roofing  in 
the  market.  We  offer  this  style  of  Roofing  Iron,  formed  and  painted, 
delivered  substantially  crated  on  hoard  cars  here,  all  ready  for  laying; 
or  we  will,  when  desired,  lay  the  roofing  on  buildings  in  any  part  of 
the  country. 

Samples  showing  manner  of  construction  and  of  attaching  this  roof 
to  the  building,  promptly  forwarded  to  any  address  on  application. 


SLATE  ROOFING. 


We  are  prepared  to  lay,  in  any  section  of  the  Northwest,  any  of  the 
favorite  and  most  durable  varieties  of  Slate,  either  plain  or  fancy — 
Pennsylvania,  Vermont  purple,  unfading  green  or  red;  also  the  celebrated 
Brown ville  Maine  Slate.  We  underlay  with  one  ply  of  Tarred 

Pelt,  and  use  Barbed  Wire  Nails 

for  securing  Slate  to  the  roof  boards,  thus  insuring  the  most  perfect  and 
durable  Slate  roof  to  be  had.

SCRIBNER'S 


FIRE  PROOF  DOORS  AND  SHUTTERS, 


JN  bringing  our  Fire  Proof  Shutters  before  the  public,  it  is  unnecessary 
to  make  any  remarks  in  regard  to  the  vast  importance  of  more 
thorough  protection  against  fire.  The  great  conflagrations  that  are  con- 
stantly occurring  throughout  the  country  have  made  it  a requirement  by 
the  National  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters,  that  all  warehouses,  etc..,  shall 
be  protected  by  Fire  Proof  Shutters,  and  a reduction  in  rates  of  insur- 
ance is  made  where  they  are  used.  Several  years  trial  on  hundreds  of 
Stores,  Mills,  Warehouses,  etc.,  throughout  the  Northwest,  have  proven 
that  our  Shutters  are  constructed  on  the  right  principle,  and  afford 
greater  protection  against  fire  than  any  others  in  the  market.  They  are 
made  of  wood  in  two  thicknesses,  the  grain  running  opposite  ways  to 
prevent  warping,  the  wood  filling  being  then  covered  with  iron,  which 
latter  is  painted  inside  and  outside,  and  thoroughly  riveted.  The  report 
of  the  “Committee  on  Construction  of  Buildings,”  to  the  National  Board 
of  Fire  Underwriters,  at  the  Eleventh  Annual  Meeting,  April  25th  and 
26th,  1877,  (see  page  97,)  states  that  “a  properly  constructed  wooden 
door,  battened  and  completely  metal  clad,  and  properly  hung,  will  resist 
fire  much  longer  than  the  average  iron  door.  This  fact  was  completely 
demonstrated  at  the  Tariffville  (Conn.)  and  Boston  fires  some  years 
since,”  etc.,  etc.

HAYES’  PATENT  SKYLIGHT. 


SECTION  SHOWING  ONE  STYLE  OF  SASH  BAR. 

I am  the  Sole  Agent  and  Manufacturer  in  the  Northwest  (under 
license  from  the  jjatentee)  of  this  justly-renowned  Skylight.  The 
frames  and  bars  are  of  Galvanized  Iron,  glazed  with  heavy  plate  glass. 
Dust,  wind,  water,  snow  and  fire  proof.  All  condensation,  or  sweating 
of  glass  on  inner  side  provided  for  and  taken  care  of  by  a gutter  formed 
in  each  bar,  conducting  the  moisture  to  openings  in  the  frame  at  end  of 
bars,  thence  out  on  to  the  roof — thus  doing  away  with  this  source  of  almost 
endless  annoyance,  as  experienced  in  the  use  of  ordinary  skylights. 
This  light  is  and  must  be,  from  the  nature  and  durability  of  materials 
and  workmanship  employed,  as  durable  as  the  building  on  which  it 
rests.  We  have  no  hesitation  in  recommending  this  as  the  very  best 
Skylight  in  the  market,  and  can  refer  with  confidence  to  a large  number 
already  sold  and  in  use  in  St.  Paul  and  throughout  the  Northwest. 

Notably  those  on  the  St.  Paul  Union  Depot;  Chicago,  St.  Paul,  Minne- 
apolis and  Omaha  Machine  Shop  at  St.  Paul,  22  feet  by  190  feet;  North- 
ern Pacific  Shops  at  Glendive,  M.  T.  containing  1,325  square  feet. 


Fig.  25  A. 

Fig.  25  A illustrates  a light  to  set  on  a level  curb,  the  pitch  being  formed 
in  the  back  and  sides,  which  is  always  two  inches  or  more  to  the  foot. 
It  is  most  advisable  in  this  kind  of  light,  where  the  span  is  more  than 
four  feet,  to  form  the  back  and  sides  of  wood  or  other  material,  flashed 
with  tin,  etc.,  as  in  all  other  cases.

Fig.  25  B illustrates  a lean-to  Skylight.  The  sides  and  hack  are 
securely  flashed  into  wall.  This  style  of  Skylight  should  always  be 
used  in  preference  to  a double  pitch  or  hip,  where  there  is  not  sufficient 
space  for  a good  gutter  between  it  and  the  wall. 

The  louvre  ventilators  can  be  inserted  at  each  end,  either  stationary 
or  to  open  and  close  from  floor  by  means  of  cords  and  pulleys.  This  is 
the  most  effectual  mode  of  ventilation,  and  can  be  applied  to  almost 
every  other  kind  of  Skylight. 


Fig.  24  A. 

Fig.  24  A illustrates  a double  pitch  Skylight,  the  curb  for  which  is 
made  level  in  same  manner  as  for  hip  Skylights.

Photographers  in  the  Country.

Fig.  24  B. 

Fig.  24  B illustrates  a Double  Pitch  Skylight  with  louvre  in  each  end. 
It  is  most  advisable  where  the  opening  is  of  wider  space  than  six  feet 
to  form  the  ends  of  wood  or  other  material,  flashed  in  the  usual  manner. 


Fig.  23  illustrates  a plain  hipped  Skylight  without  ventilators,  but 
can  be  made  to  ventilate  by  means  of  opening  sashes.  The  curb  for 
this  description  of  light  is  always  formed  level. 


Fig.  22  A. 

Fig.  22  A illustrates  a hipped  Skylight  with  tubular  ventilators, 
which  is  better  adapted  for  a long  narrow  Skylights — the  ventilators 
taking  less  obstruction  to  the  light  than  Fig.  22.

VENTILATORS. 


Fig.  40.  Fig.  41. 


Fig.  40  illustrates  Hayes’  Patent  Tubular  Ventilator,  one-half  of  which 
is  left  off  to  show  the  action;  the  lower  curved  arrow  indicates  the  ingress 
of  pure  air,  causing  a vacuum  in  the  upper  part  of  Ventilator,  the  escape 
being  through  openings,  as  indicated  by  upper  curved  arrow.  The  per- 
pendicular arrow  indicates  the  passage  of  foul  air  from  building. 


Fig.  41  illustrates  a Ventilator  we  make  for  the  trade.  It  is  used  on 
wooden  and  iron  Skylights.  They  are  made  on  same  principle  as  Fig. 
40,  and  also  without  the  inside  action.  Are  made  round  or  square.

VENTILATORS— Continued. 


Fig.  41  A.  Fig.  41  B. 


Fig.  41  A is  section  of  Hayes’  Patent  Ventilator,  with  Emerson  top. 
A portion  of  outer  casing  is  left  to  show  the  means  of  ingress  of  air, 
which  causes  the  vacuum;  it  also  shows  the  mode  of  applying  trap  or 
damper,  which  remains  open  till  closed  by  means  of  a cord.  It  is  also 
arranged  that  should  snow  drive  in,  it  will  be  shed  between  the  inner 
and  outer  tubes,  thereby  avoiding  leakage.  We  have  other  modes  of 
applying  a damper,  but  this  is  the  most  effectual  and  simple,  and  can 
be  applied  to  all  our  Ventilators. 

Fig.  41  B.  illustrates  the  Emerson  Ventilator,  which  is  so  well  known 
that  further  explanation  is  unnecessary.
